Fira de Sant Ponç in Barcelona, healing herbs in the center of Barcelona

Hotel Curious informs about a very entrenched tradition in Barcelona: Sant Ponç Fair
Every May 11 is celebrated in Calle Hospital, the Sant Ponç Fair, patron saint of beekeepers and herbalists. This tradition took shape yesteryear when once in the spring the herbalists brought healing herbs to sell. There you can find healing herbs, honey, sweets, fruits preserved in syrup (canned fruit) and candied fruits.
The staff from Hostal Mare Nostrum did a small story last year and here we post it for showing some images from the fair, we hope you enjoy it!
Where: Calle Hospital, Barcelona
